In the Dust of the Rabbi

This week we are going to be asking ourselves "who is your teacher?" There are many influences that impact us everyday that we do not reflect on, as a consequence we fall under their spell and adapt our "Christianity" to its influence. Being intentional about who we listen to does not mean that we avoid all things we deem unchristian for the sake of everything in the religious circle we associate. It does mean that we think with a particular mind and consistently reflect based upon the one that we choose to believe. Belief is an interesting dynamic that can lead us into truth as well as decieve us with illusions that make sense to our little circle of religious zealots, but to those who are seeking, they look on and ask why doesn't the Emporer have any clothes on. So why do we select this particular teacher? Why do we choose to believe their version of truth? Why do we sit at this particular place under this particular teacher? How does it cause us to live? Are we a blessing as a result or are we painfully endured by those around us who desire nothing more than to find Jesus?
